Enhancing security excellence: a dynamic partnership between FreeDivision and IBM

In an ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, businesses are continually seeking powerful solutions to strengthen their defenses and address the complex challenges posed by cyber threats. As an IBM Business Partner, FreeDivision stands out in the field by understanding the local needs of its customers. Operating as a Security Services Partner, FreeDivision leverages IBM’s endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution, IBM Security® QRadar® EDR, as part of its solution freedivision.io to address customers’ unique security challenges.

Customers come to FreeDivision for help in two key areas: security audits and consulting, and incident response and recovery.

Security audit and consultation

Many businesses still underestimate the level of security they need and often rely solely on antivirus solutions. FreeDivision’s products and expertise stand out when performing comprehensive security screenings for our customers. The solution not only protects against threats but also acts as a vigilant hunting tool.

Through in-depth analysis of logs, FreeDivision guides clients toward a heightened security posture, minimizing the risk of ransomware and other cyber threats. Protection against ransomware is provided through IBM QRadar EDR’s adaptive system. QRadar EDR allows FreeDivision to resolve security incidents in seconds. Response procedures utilize artificial intelligence to prevent human errors and enable rapid response to threats.

“IBM Security QRadar EDR is like powerful EDR. Built-in AI and automation make it fast, efficient and easy to use.” —Sandro Huber, Chief Information Officer and Co-Owner of FreeDivision

Incident Response and Recovery

For customers seeking help after becoming victims of an attack, FreeDivision steps in to resolve the situation and strengthen defenses. FreeDivision works with customers who have experienced ransomware attacks to not only address the immediate threat, but also works with customers to build resilient security measures for the future. To help customers prepare for future attacks, FreeDivision embeds IBM QRadar EDR to detect and block new and unknown threats, from ransomware to sophisticated file attacks and memory-only attacks.

Ransomware hacker attack

When Czech manufacturer PeHtoo was attacked by ransomware hackers, it partnered with FreeDivision to help it recover. Ivan Eminger, CEO of PeHtoo, says:

“By our standards, we have invested significant resources in IT operations and security. Unfortunately, it turns out that this isn’t enough. I was attacked by ransomware hackers. Our data was completely stolen and then encrypted. We had to rebuild the company from scratch.

Fortunately, FreeDivision experts have helped set new IT processes and security standards. Thanks to the MDR service, we have a continuous overview of all user processes initiated on our corporate infrastructure, and any deviations from normal user behavior are immediately addressed in an isolated environment outside of production operations. “With the combination of network security and next-generation security gateways at the perimeter, we are now much better prepared to respond to existing threats, allowing us to focus on the core activities of our business with greater peace of mind.”

Why work with IBM

The choice of FreeDivision to build a solution with IBM is rooted in the outstanding functionality and support provided by IBM Security QRadar EDR, formerly known as ReaQta.. Address known and unknown endpoint threats in near real-time with easy-to-use, intelligent automation that requires little human interaction. Attack visualization storyboards help you make fast, informed decisions and leverage automated alert management and advanced continuous learning AI capabilities.

FreeDivision shared three key features that made QRadar EDR an easy choice.

• The console is intuitive to the user. Customizable and easy to use.
• IBM’s support is unrivaled. IBM not only provides solutions, but also supports you when problems arise.
• Customers appreciate the depth of our research tools.

“Our strength lies in the perfect combination of IBM’s global presence and localized insights,” said Sandro Huber, Chief Information Officer and co-owner of FreeDivision. “This is a combination of IBM’s cutting-edge technology and a deep understanding of what is important in the local market. “This is a dynamic relationship built on trust, expertise, and a shared commitment to advancing cybersecurity standards.”
